Actually, the entire appointment thing, is just the same to me dumping all the works here to now, Mayor Smith. After all, with all the Guilds and the Large Merchant Groups already gone from the Wasteland, the battles has now moved out from these region and now, I have to carefully arranged everything in Aeternum, to prepared the entire nation before the covert wars against the guilds starts. Rather than just leaving the battle as it is, I want the Guilds to really fear me to the point they no longer will think about attacking Aeternum at all. Also, when we were talking about the Guilds, it was the time for me to approach all the smaller guilds that has become the sideline watchers these whole time.There were a lot of the Small Guilds that did not engage in a shady business, the Healer Guilds, the Herbalist Guilds, Craftsman Guilds there were a lot of them. These guilds they distance themselves from the 3 Major guilds and even got oppressed by them. To be honest, these smaller guilds
It was at night time, when my Airship arrived at Aeternum International Airport, at the moment, there is multiple Airship is hovering near the Aero Port Runway, which probably from the today last flight schedule. Although I can just use my Private Port or even just headed straight to the Palace Port, I decided for the Pilots to slow down a little bit and just follow the common route, as I wanted to see the top views of the new look of New City. The entire city has already fully changed, it has took the sight that I have envisioned for the city. And Just like how I envisioned it, it was beautiful, picturesque and artistic, the packed roads is now already being widened and decorated with greenery and stop light, making it beautiful and organized.The building beside the roads and also the roads side were decorated with greenery and trees, making it very environmentally friendly. The modern looks were perfectly harmonized with the modern concepts, I am sure that everyone in the city ca
Being in New City and my Mansion, which right as of now, the name and the entire mansion has already received a large makeover thus now, it officially become a palace. Felt like I can finally get some rest, so last night I didn’t do anything at all once I arrived from the Wasteland and instead head straight to bed. As the morning comes, which is today, I am currently resting in the Palace Garden, meanwhile, Yggdrasil has already started her school days now. And from what I heard from Elijah it seems the little kid really enjoyed her school time. There were a lot of changes at my abode but one that stayed the same is the Garden, no one dared to touched it as it was Yggdrasil place and also the place where I built with my own hand.“...Now these place really looked like a royal palace..”.“Yes, My lord…I suggested the ideas to you multiple times before..a man of your status should at least have these types of abode…besides…the Young lady really loves it….the madame as well, each of them
Intentionally I took 2 days off, before I resumed back my schedule at the Black House. As of lately the atmosphere inside the Black House has been rather more productive, Aeternum has already officially extend it’s regions in the Wasteland, and recently all the allied nations has been free from any sort of invasion threat from any nation at all, and instead has been steadily stabilized and experiencing the booming business and rise in their economy. Those that has been a loud mouth about Aeternum and it’s ally before has shut their mouths and instead only able to curb their anger and just opened their eyes in envy as Aeternum and it’s ally developed faster and faster by the days.“Recently, our border have not seen any movement whatsoever..Hallerus Kingdom has been rather silent these days…but our Intel caught the news that they have been contacting the Battle Star Empire for an alliance…and protection…With us and the alliance backing up from protecting their border…the harassment fro
Currently Aeternum cannot be said that it was in an immediate danger at all, because up until now, Aeternum has not received any sort of attacks from foreign country. Even the Church of Light has been rather silent all these times and have already decided to closed their border fully, under the pretext that they are in the middle of a pilgrimage. While in actuality, they cannot afford to get our of their domains at all because of me, these entire time I have decided to lock them up, they have no way to go passed their border safely at all. Aeternum new region has closed their only path connecting to other nations, they can’t go through their left side because it was the forbidden Elven Kingdom domains, not west and south because it was Aeternum domains.In another words, they were isolated by me, sure they probably can still get in and out using Dukedom of Angela border, but even in that country they were heavily scrutinized. Recently, the church has been trying to connect with the Ha
No one really wanted for a war to happen, and for me, even I don’t really want to see them happen if I can avoid it, War only bring a lot of misery, but at the age like these thing like war is something that can happen in a daily basis, it can even happened because of a simple misunderstanding. As for the Situation in Alemia Nation, it seems that it has become much worsen as the day passes by. And it is very likely that they actually have forgotten my aid as of lately, the Alemia Royal family is truly a mess.“There is in fighting everywhere in the Alemia City these days….the faction has divided into 2 sides…the Crown Prince Faction, and the Queen Faction…both side were equally strong…Both factions has their own noble supporters…The Queen supporters were coming from the Nobles in the capital and the West region, The Crown Prince faction supporter were from the south region….”.(Bina)“What a mess…I have already went out of my way helping stabilized them but these is what they do once e
Alemia Nation is a big country almost as big as the Russia if one wanted to find a comparison of it’s size on earth. Given it’s sizes the Alemia royal family with their shaky influences and incompetence that has been acting up everything there is a change in leaderships and their greedy traits, they definitely cannot controlled the entire nation by themselves, therefor, the nobles naturally step in as the solutions for control. The entire kingdom were divided into 5 section and each of them has their own rulers, with all of them following the mandate by the Royal Family as the leader of the entire nation. The centre region were hold and fully owned by the Royal family, and the other 4 region of directions were led by the 4 Dukes of Alemia Nation.Naturally these 4 Dukes that have their own territory, is akin to a king of their own status, in fact, their power can even rival the Royal family if it was one by one fight. The Duke is naturally a title that were given from the Alemia Natio
When I am reading these report, I am already able to imagine a few possibility in my mind, and not one of it said that the Eastern Alemia is just acting all these times. They are genuinely and actively letting themselves be influenced by Aeternum lifestyles. And they are really passionate about it. They are copying everything that is good about Aeternum and as a result their condition has been improving significantly, they have already become a self governance region without any problem at all. And what is amazing about it is that, Aeternum has no hand at all on what is happening in that region at all.“Both side of the faction in the war..has been actively reaching out to Duke Oliver Gust for his hand in the war…but until now…he has not said anything at all…The guy basically gave everyone a cold shoulders…it is amazing that duke is…”.(Andrea)“The Gust Duke Family….is a rather odd ones…he does not cared about Alemia Nation situation at all…well to say that he doesn’t really care is w
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
